mircea_popescu: the equivalent approach is to say item acquired a new property in going from a to b. in both it's the same thing, but in b it is also an exclusive good
mircea_popescu: and so therefore, going from a to b actually increases the market value of item. through a process known as "creating a market".
mircea_popescu: in situation a, the value of item is to be calculated theoretically ; in situation b, the value of the item is "a little less than it costs me to get one myself". and it is VERY practical. because yes, you MUST keep up with the Xs.
mircea_popescu: situation a) item is shown theoretically to possibly exist ; situation b) item is alleged to physically exist in vaults of lord X.
mircea_popescu: let me model it for you then.
ascii_field: so idea is, mircea_popescu pays to have the koh-i-noor dug up, the fact of this matter is chronicled in the logz, and anyone who's anyone is to simply believe ?
